99% Correct - Update

SEARCH BLOG: MICROSOFT

Recently, I upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007 and find the changes to be largely quite positive. I had complained that the upgrade had knocked out the spell checker in Outlook Express and Microsoft help was no help.

Well, Microsoft should be credited when they take appropriate action. They quietly fixed the problem behind the scenes with their automatic updates.

I probably would upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista if that did not entail reloading all of my other software. When Microsoft figures out how to replace their old operating systems with newer ones without forcing the users to reload everything, they will have a much larger market much faster for their Windows operating system. As it stands, they will get their sales of Vista with new computers, but a lot of XP users will probably get rid of the computer before upgrading to Vista... just because Microsoft makes it such a hassle.

Come on Microsoft, it must be worth billions of dollars to figure this out.
